Hello VoA. Could you please check this out? VoABot moved this request to the fulfilled section, although the request just had a note and not a definite admin decision. I'm not sure if VoABot should be moving down requests that are simply marked with. Please have a look into it. Thanks. Regards, Hús  ö  nd  15:34, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Sighted revisions
Hi, I've been working on a proposal for sighted revisions. It would be useful if administrators could enable sighted revisions for a page temporarily, setting an expiration time like for protection. Is it technically possible ? Cenarium Talk  10:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Function already exists.  Aar on Sc hulz  11:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I see that that it is not possible to write a reason when sighting on the test wiki. Will it be possible on Wikipedia ? I have the presentiment that this system will be used during disputes, and it may lead to "sighting wars". So it would be good to have the option to write a rationale.

 * I also wonder if it's possible to restrict the ability to sight a certain page to a user subgroup of surveyors ? For example when an article is contentious or under dispute. This way, we could reduce the requirements for surveyor and enable sighted revisions for a larger class of articles. Thanks, Cenarium  Talk  14:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not currently, and not sure that would be a good idea.  Aar on Sc hulz  08:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. Another possibility to control disputes and contentious articles would be the creation a user subgroup of surveyor, for example 'moderator', with a higher level of flagging, something like confirmed, and the possibility for admins to set an article to show the latest confirmed revision.

Blanking at RFPP
Hi, the instructions for requests for edits to protected pages were a little vague, so perhaps it was my formatting that caused the bot to blank this unfulfilled request? Durova Charge! 07:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
